Hey Jebbers!

The Brisket is cooking, I am making Kasha Varniskas and baked apples. I will probably make Moroccan Carrots as well. The kitchen is very warm right now.

Be sure to use the Mandoline if you'll be cutting carrots!

Sounds yummy!

Mmmm, groats! Yum! (Whatever they are.)

I don't need Google to know that Dick Groat led the NL in batting with .325 for the 1960 Pirates. My baseball knowledge peaked in the 1960s.

Sometimes, reading a definition of a thing does not constitute knowing it. Sometimes, people are making conversation, and are interested in the cook's description. Sometimes, Google is not all there is to conversation and knowing.

Just about every time, there is no need to attempt to assault someone's intelligence to show off how well you can use an internet tool.

We're having ham, those gross sweet potatoes with marshmallows that I was coerced into making (although they taste like pumpkin pie with the recipe I made), mandarin orange salad/romaine/onions and broiled tomatoes with cheese crap on top. Plus rolls. And a store-bought cake thing.

By the time people get back from the store with a movie and certain other people decide to write a paper for a class we may eat at 10.

But, still. Happy Easter!
Well, then

We're having leg of lamb with apricot-orange-cardamom-cumin marinade; coucous with scallions, lime, and cilantro; asparagus; and fruits of the forest pie, whatever that is. The person responsible for the lamb fell asleep while he was supposed to be preparing the lamb, so we will be eating while we watch John Adams. Fortunately, another person decided to make an afternoon snack of from-scratch waffles. We called it tea time. Neither of those people is me, who allows others to serve me while I drink wine.

Yikes, all this good food everyone is preparing. I didn't cook at all today. Since we had stuff going on Friday night & all day Saturday, the family gave me a pass today. We didn't even go out for lunch or dinner. I did go to church, but have pretty much been a bum the rest of the day.

Not at all. What I'd like instead is, the next time it seems that way, you would ignore it instead. Thanks! :D

Kasha Varniskas

Dr Dick's mother made two things - Kasha Varniskas and this chicken liver saute thing. They were both new dishes to me. Early on, I wanted to fit in with that family and there was no way I was eating that chicken liver thing, so I tried the Kasha thing. I had to add much salt and when I did, I really liked it. Grain and pasta - what could be bad?


Besides, the bow ties are so cute.

The first time I made Kasha Varniskas, I didn't add enough salt (I usually don't cook with salt) and I didn't caramelize the onions enough. I started substituting chicken broth for water/salt and it tastes better. I still don't make it like Jeff's grandma, but it tastes good.

Kasha is also good in chicken soup. I would have never of thought of serving it that way, but had it at Jerry's Famous Deli.

Yummy. I love lamb, but don't make it for family dinners. The idea of eating lamb really bothers Emma, she wants her lamb to die of old age.

I'm with Emma. Years ago hub and I went out to eat and he decided on lamb. I was teasing him, saying his dinner was 'frolicking' days ago, and now this. When our meals arrived, I'd had every intention of trying his, since I'd never had lamb. I put a small bite in my mouth and could not make myself swallow it. Tasted good, but could not make myself swallow. I decided I'm apparantley okay with food that lumbers, but frolickers are off limits for me.
